IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Take advantage of Jupiter in your sign to set goals that really challenge you. No matter what you may have accomplished in the past you can and you will exceed it over the coming 12 months. It’s your destiny to leave your mark on the world.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

The sun and Jupiter in the most dynamic area of your chart are doing wonders for your confidence and what you undertake today will come easier to you than you expected. You never know what you are truly capable of until you try!

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

Take time out of your busy schedule to remind yourself of your ultimate dream － that is, where you want to be a few years from now. Once you have that vision fixed in your mind your journey through life will be both simpler and more exciting.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

Some kind of reward for your previous efforts is heading your way but don’t let the universe’s regard for you go to your head. There are still a lot of things you need to do and so many people are relying on you to do them well.

The more other people do things for you today the more you must do things for them. It’s not just about being nice or being kind, it’s about setting in motion a sequence of positive events that can change everyone’s lives for the better.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

Just because your head is full of great ideas does not mean you have to implement them all in one go. Even a Leo has limits and if you limit yourself to one major goal today you will reach that goal sooner than you expected.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

A friend may be out of order in some of the things they’ve been saying about you but if you think about it for a bit you will have to admit they are at least partially correct in their appraisal. There’s no need to be afraid of criticism.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

Venus moves into your sign on Thursday, after which you will be so laidback in your dealings with the world that you may at times appear to be asleep! Between now and then make a major effort to get outstanding tasks completed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

There is a time to go it alone and make your own way through life without people holding your hand or holding you back but this isn’t one of them. If you want to get ahead over the next few days you are going to need friends and allies.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

It’s possible that you could fall out with someone over your social or travel plans today but in the greater scheme of things it’s no big deal, so stay calm and try to work it out with them. And if you can’t? Just walk away.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

Some people seem to believe they can avoid the consequences of their actions but you know better, and that means you are more likely to make the correct decision today concerning a partnership issue. Remember: nobody wins unless everybody wins.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

There are a lot of changes going on in the world and some of those changes will have a knock-on effect on your personally. What changes today may be worrying to begin with but it will soon be apparent that it’s a huge change for the better.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

It is of even more importance than usual that you stay on the right side of partners and loved ones. Make use of Venus in your opposite sign to soothe their fears. Reassure them that what you do for yourself will be good for them as well.
